What moves the gold price
Gold has been treated as a store of value for millennia. Its price reflects a constant tug-of-war between demand from investors, jewellers and central banks on one side, and a slow, finite mined supply on the other.
In the short term, the spot rate reacts to currency strength — particularly the US dollar — alongside real interest rates, inflation expectations and geopolitical uncertainty. When the cost of holding cash rises, gold tends to soften; when confidence in fiat currencies falls, it firms.
The figure quoted here is the international spot price, expressed per troy ounce in US dollars and converted into your selected currency at the latest reference exchange rate. Bars and coins typically trade at a premium above spot to cover refining, certification and dealer margins.
Frequently asked
Spot is the price for immediate delivery of one troy ounce of pure (fine) gold on the international over-the-counter market. It is the benchmark used by refiners, dealers and exchanges worldwide.
